Grace's favoriete plekje in huis:
"Zo kan ik alles zien!!!"
Grace ten voeten uit: mooi, aandachtig, slim, zot en speelvogel allemaal in 1 klein (groot) woefke!
"Oeps, sorry, mama!"
Copycat...

Mona protects her daughter
Tonight when we took the dogs on their eveningwalk, Mona showed us what kind of mum she is...
We usually walk down our street and take one of the side streets, we walk down that street and turn around when we come near the house where a very angry dog lives. We noticed last week that we hadn't seen the dog around anymore for a large amount of time, so today we decided to go passed the house...
When we came back, it turned out the dog was still living there. He started barking but we saw he was inside. But then: the owner was smart enough to let the dog out. The dog was barking and running up and down the fence so angrily, it scared the crap out of Grace. Right at that moment, Mona broke free, she just vanished, leaped over a large creek and ran to the fence, not barking. Viggo wanted to help her but he couldn't break free. Mona came right back when she told the other dog to back off. She jumped to the fence and came back.
We're sure she did this to protect little Gracie, because normally she'd never ever do this kind of stuff and when she came back she firstly ran towards her and 'nose-to-nosed' her. And then when she came towards us, she put her tail between her legs because she thought we were angry with her, which obviously we weren't, we were/are angry with the pighead that let his dog out while he knows we were there with a puppy. He just stood there, letting his dog do his thing, of course the dog can bark and all (after all it's his territory), but he's a real pain in the ass for all the other dogowners that want to walk passed his house.

Mona at the vet...
Mona stopped eating a few days ago so we took her to the vet yesterday. He said he thinks nothing is wrong. We came home, gave her some food and yes, yes, she ate it. Almost as if she thought 'Ohoh, they took me to that vet, so maybe I should try to eat...' And again at night, she ate... Weird girl, our Mona!

'Skinny-dip'
We went swimming in Westenschouwen, NL. We had a verrrrryyy good time! The dogs didn't hesitate for one moment to get into the water. Grace also loves to swim, she followed Mona and Viggo into the water and she swam tremendously!
Afterwards when we got home, they gave us a 'snoring-concert': three dogs, all exhausted, sleeping and letting us know they had a GREAT time!
***
Gisteren zijn we in Westenschouwen, NL, gaan zwemmen. Westenschouwen ligt net aan de waterkering 'Neeltje Jans' en dus aan de Oosterschelde! Het was er ge-wel-dig! Zeker met die drie zwemmers van ons was het een echt feest. Die drie aarzelden natuurlijk geen moment om het water in te gaan. Blijkbaar zwemt kleine Grace ook heel graag, want ook zij ging gezwind het water in en zwom perfect!
Toen we thuis waren, hebben ze ons getrakteerd op een heus 'snurkconcert': onze drie honden, compleet uitgeput, lagen heerlijk te slapen en zo lieten ze ons ook weten dat ze het echt wel naar hun zin hebben gehad!
Crazy Mona:
Wij zijn mooooeeee!!! / We are tired!!!

Check-up
Grace went back to the clinic today, no worries, just for a check up. The scar looks fine, the threads were removed and she can lose the collar! We'd like to thank all the doctors and nurses at the animalclinic 'Dierenkliniek Randstad' in Borsbeek, and especially doctor Fortrie, for taking good care of our little girl!
***
Grace moest vandaag terug naar de dierenkliniek, geen paniek, alleen maar voor een check-up. Het litteken ziet er goed uit, de draadjes zijn verwijderd en ze mag eindelijk terug zonder lampencap door het leven gaan! Wij willen graag alle dierenartsen en assistenten van 'Dierenkliniek Randstad' in Borsbeek, en Dr. Fortrie in het bijzonder, bedanken voor hun goeie zorgen!
